ABOUT OPERS
OPERS was established in 1964 by the Oklahoma
Legislature. As of June 30, 2013, the Plan consisted
of 283 participating employers comprised of state,
county, and local agencies. The membership includes
43,273 active members, 5,595 inactive members,
and 31,135 retirees and beneficiaries.
The 2013 Popular Annual Financial Report of the
Oklahoma Public Employees Retirement System
(OPERS) contains summary financial information
from the 2013 Comprehensive Annual Financial
Report. The full report can be viewed in its entirety
online at www.opers.ok.gov/publications.
Dear Esteemed Member:
In 1825, American Statesman Daniel Webster said, “Let us develop the
resources of our land, call forth its power, build up its institutions, promote all
its great interests, and see whether we also in our day and generation may not
perform something worthy of being remembered.”
Public service is alive and well in Oklahoma and Webster’s words still ring true
today. Each day, 3.8 million Oklahomans benefit from some contribution, large
or small, made by a member of this retirement system. We take great pride at
OPERS in serving those who serve the people of Oklahoma.
Among many other important endeavors, our members build our roads,
guard our prisons, protect consumers, expand opportunities for the disabled,
protect public health, preserve our natural resources, and pass on our rich
history to the next generation.
This edition of the Popular Annual Financial Report for the Oklahoma Public
Employees Retirement System honors the call to serve that our members
have answered with their time and talents. We are pleased to provide you
with this report and hope you find it informative.
Sincerely,
Tom Spencer
